This document discusses the International Aid Transparency Initiative (IATI), which is a global standard for publishing timely, comprehensive and comparable information about aid and development resources and activities. The standard aims to publish financial data, results, budgets and other documentation in an open and reusable format. It is designed by governments, donors, NGOs and experts to increase transparency of aid. The document provides statistics on adoption of the standard and outlines upcoming sprints to further improve upon the standard and its implementation.
